First, check out a tutorial on Servlet 2.3 filters. One at: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/Servlets8.html
Essentially, it'll boil down to creating two classes: a filter (implements javax.servlet.Filter) and a response wrapper (extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper). Then, you'll need to add <filter> and <filter-mapping> elements to web.xml. How would you determine if a request originated from your search engine? User-Agent header? Specific request parameter?
